Regarding dryer sheets, if the other options above aren’t working for you, I started using the dryer balls from Wal Mart a couple years ago. $5 a pair (I use four in my dryer) and they lasted two years with a family of six before needing replacing. Considering the 10 loads a week we average, that is less than $.01 per load. I’ve just started making all my scent free products on my own after shelling out the dough for the past several years (do to allergies), thanks for the recipe. I’m currently using a homemade liquid laundry detergent but will try this next.

When we first set out to make our own homemade laundry detergent we thought it would be difficult and time consuming – turns out it’s neither. Making your own laundry powder is fast, easy, and inexpensive.

Washing Soda is hard to find in my area. Friends who buy it in other regions of the country say it fades non-white laundry, especially darks. Borax and OxiClean can do that too, especially if used in warm or hot water. I use OxiClean when washing white clothes and towels because it whitens so well.

I love your recipe and will use it to make my first batch of homemade laundry detergent. I just wanted you to know that the link you have with a recipe to turn baking soda into washing soda does not work. Access to the information is only available to person’s who are invited by the owner of the “hollythehomemaker” blog and no one else. I tried to get access but to no avail I can’t get the information. Can you post this recipe somewhere on your website and link it for us? Thanks much and I’m so happy I found your blog. You have really useful information.

I’ve been conflicted. Wanting to make my own homemade laundry detergent, but stuck in the comfort and certainty of the store-bought detergent. I’ve spent many nap times, quietly sipping my coffee with toys scattered across the floor, the laundry pile starring me down, formulating the perfect homemade soap in my tired mommy-brain. A soap that’s effective at fighting stains, odors, and doesn’t ruin our clothes.

I and my pocketbook love your home made laundry detergent! Thank you!

After I posted the Homemade Laundry Detergent – Trial Size Version recipe last week, I had several requests for a concentrated version of the LIQUID Laundry Detergent I am fond of as well. Since it has been awhile since I’d made up a batch, I figured I’d give it a try. It actually was embarrassingly …

Now, I haven’t tried this yet, but this is another homemade laundry detergent recipe that at least appears to me may be cloth-diaper safe! Since I use Dawn dish soap to strip my cloth diapers, I would not hesitate at least using this homemade laundry detergent on them occasionally.

Homemade natural laundry detergent made EASY!

Erin, I love your blog! Thank you for sharing this list. I feel as though homemade laundry detergent has taken over my brain and I’d like to have the space back for more productive things…..what brand laundry detergent do you use? I’m sure if I did through your posts and comments I could find it but…..Thanks in advance, Jessicahassett!

This detergent sounds like a detergent after my own heart! One reason I’ve never delved into making my own homemade laundry detergent was the grating. I don’t even like grating cheese; why would I want to take all that time to grate soap?
